Ana from Portugal 8 Aug 2017 100%Constantin is a great host: he gives great advice
on what to visit in Bucharest, makes a delicious
breakfast, and has always a friendly word.
His mother is an angel who took care of me
when I got ill (thanks a lot!). The hostel is very
clean, and although it is located not in the city
center, you can reach the historical center of
Bucharest taking the subway (10 minutes).
The neighborhood of the hostel is quiet, with
a big Shopping Center, a beautiful park and
supermarket nearby.

Filip from Belgium 5 aug 2017 94%Constantin,
who runs this small and very cosy hostel
(rather a private apartment), is a great person.
I felt welcome immediately, was offered coffee several times,
and had some very interesting conversations with him.
The omelette for breakfast was great as well. While the
hostel is not in the center, it is very quiet and has
the
advantages of a nearby metro station and an excellent
shopping mall with an extensive food court. Highly
recommended!

Raphael from Israel 13 Jul 2017 9.4%Very
good hostel. Constantin is a super nice guy,
he is very helpful. Breakfast is included (great
omeletes)
and the location is quite good, it's in a quiet
neighborhood
close to a lake and a really impressive mall. There's also an
amazing pizza nearby. Not close to the center though.
Not the best hostel for socializing with other travelers but a
really comfortable and trustable stay.

This was a great hostel. More homestay
than traditional hostel vibe as it is in a small-ish
apartment. There are no locks on the doors to
the rooms in the hostel, although the host was
always there and the door to the building itself
was always locked. Don't let the location put you
off, it's a short and easy metro ride into downtown
and the hostel itself is in a great neighbourhood.
Right next to a mall and an outdoor market. Host
was amazing as were his free omelettes! Thank you!
Will be back!

Constantin is a brilliant host and a great cook.
He's interesting and speaks flawless English.
There's always someone in the apartment, so it's feels
safe, but it also feels a bit awkward when you come
in late at night. The omelettes each morning are well
worth
it... This is not a place to party, so don't expect any
late-nite
cocktails in the bar...but it's a wonderful place when
you need
a break from all of that. Thanks, again, Constantin!
You're awesome!

Lynda from U.S.A. 18 May 2017 9.1%Great
value
and Constantin, the host,
was very accommodating and helpful.
Breakfast was delicious. For me,
Host Tina worked nicely because I
wanted quiet and safety.

Soim from South Korea 30 Mar
2017 100%I
was very happy to stay at Tinahost.
It could be little bit hard to find at the first
time, but except that everything was fine.
There is beautiful lake about 5min walk,
and convenient to shop at big mall also.
City center takes about 10min by metro.
Over all, host is nicest person I have ever seen!
Breakfast he makes is so delicious! I would
definitely come again if I visit Bucharest next time!

Catalin from Romania 2 Mar 2017 91%The host is really helpful, friendly
and kind.
The breakfast is fresh and tasty. Location
is really cool, less than 10 min walk from
metro station and only 2 minutes walk to
a big park with lake and a shopping mall
with hypermarket. All good and highly
recommended.

Petrea from Romania 20 Jan 2017 100%Exactly as advertised , very clean
and organized.
Constantin is very friendly and communicative,
we do reccomend staying with him!

Eddie from U.K. 11 Jan 2017 100%This is the best hostel that I have
ever stayed in.
The staff are so nice and very helpful. Everything
is so clean and you have a wonderful breakfast in
the morning as well as many hot drinks that you want.
There is a beautiful park and lake which is just a few
minutes away. There is also a newly built shopping
centre which is by the park. The centre of town is just
a few stops away from the nearby metro. The place
is also in a very safe part of town and also has fast free
internet access.

Roseanne from Australia 19 Nov 2016 80%It's a lovely little place, short walk from
the metro. (Bucharest's metro system is
really cheap.) It was really nice to have
a room all to myself, especially since it
cost the same as a bed in a dorm!
Constantine is really friendly and helpful,
and his omelette breakfast is delicious!
I did find the mattress a bit too soft
(which is okay if you like that sort of thing),
and the pressure from the shower head
wasn't the greatest. But perhaps I was
using the wrong one? Regardless, it
was great.

Being rather an apartment with rooms to
let,
Host Tina may be recommended to all those
who want to find a nice place to stay away
from the crowds. Located in the neighbourhood
3 underground stops away from Piata Unirii,
with a friendly host who may give you a lot of
hints if you feel lost in the city. Still, even
though it is further than other locations, you
can come back even quite late without trouble,
Dristor area seems to be a safe place in Bucharest.

Jacek from Poland 10 Nov 2016 94%It was a very cosy and pleasant stay - ideal for single
travellers and couples, with a nice host and delicious
breakfasts. No limits on when you come back. Seems
to be quite far away from the centre but in fact it is not
- it takes you 10 min to the metro and then 10 min to
Piata Unirii. If you come for the game at Arena Nationala
- the location is also good! The area is safe.

Andy from U.S.A. 31 Oct 2016 97%Not so much a hostel environmemt but more like
entering a home! Constantin is a wonderful guy.
Friendly and gives advice and maps for Bucharest.
Nice quiet place to relax. Very clean. A little far
away from the center but close to the metro and
a huge modern mall and supermarket. Free
omelette breakfast every morning. I'd recommend
staying here.

It has been a relief after a month
of traveling through Europe to
arrive in Constantine's care.
After a long day of travel he
showed me to my room and
offered to bring me a cup of
tea to my room. I happily accepted.
After a quiet night's sleep
he prepared a wonderful breakfast
of cheese omelette with sides of
fresh tomato, cucumber and two
slices of bread.
While it's not your typical hostel,
it's more of a guest house located
in an apartment building, it's a
wonderful look into life here in Bucharest.
Constantine is friendly, warm,
and a pleasure to talk to. I very
much enjoyed his company while
he prepared breakfast and appreciate
his generous hospitality. Even letting
me stay a few hours after checkout while
I wait for my friends!
My many thanks to a wonderful host!

Andrzej from Poland 27 Sep 2016 97%I
recommend this tiny hostel. It is located
in the multifamily housing district nearby
the beautiful park. To find it, you have to
precisely follow the hostel instructions.
The place is safe. The owner is very helpful
and serves tasty omelette. Best value for money.

Mark from U.K. 97% 21 Sep 2016Constantin
and
his mother are both wonderful
host and friendly. When arrived at the hotel
Tina was greeted by Constantin and provide
me with information for metro times, local maps
and recommend places to visit. The apartment
was very quite, clean and tidy, the room was
comfortable and provide towels and access to
fast WiFi. I would recommend to have the home
made breakfast in the morning and this will keep
you full for the morning! I would come and stay
here again if visiting the city

Sayonara from Brazil
18 Sep 2016 100%Constantin was the best host I've
had,
and I've been in many accommodations before!
He gave a lot of tips on what to do around the city,
provided a clean and calm environment and also
made an excelent breakfast! His omelettes are
amazing, totally worth it already for that! As a young
female and solo traveller, I couldn't expect a better
place :D Thank you very much for the delightful stay
and I'm definitely recommending for my friends!

Mia from Finland
8 Sep 2016Had a great time exploring Bucharest
from Tina Host. It is a bit farther from
the Old City than most hostels but on
the plus side there is a beautiful park
right next to it - perfect for a morning run!

Jaimie from U.S.A. 97%
3 Sep 2016Fantastic stay at Host Tina!
We came in late on the train from Kiev,
and were immediately greeted with a
restful and rejuvenating atmosphere.
Our host was incredibly attentive and
helpful in recommending places to go,
things to see, and how to get everywhere
we wanted to go. Homemade breakfast
every morning was AMAZING, and a great
time to collect ourselves and plan out the day.

Stayed here for several days in early August.
As the title
suggests you are pretty much staying in a
dudes apartment
(Constantine also shares this place with I
assume his mother..)
converted into a "b&b".
Luckily When we were there it was pretty
quiet because despite
being small it could sleep up to potentially
6 (+2 owners/occupiers)
to share 1 bathroom. There's a kitchen but
it's not really a place
suitable for self catering.
It's located in the suburbs in a large apartment
complex area
(apartment is on 9th floor) so it's a bit of a
mission to get to and find
when you first arrive. Several metro station
stops from main train
station and city plus a decent 10/15min walk.
Therefore when you
head into the town centre you are pretty much
committing your entire
day there. It is however a very safe neighbourhood
had no concerns
walking around at night and has everything you
could need in terms
of supermarkets pharmacies etc
I do need to point out that the owner is lovely,
helpful, charming in a
way and multiple notes in the "b&b" attest to it.
Ultimately however,
even with the pricing, I'm pretty sure you can find
better elsewhere.

David from Germany 91%

This is more a private flat
than a hostel -
and from the first moment
Constantin and his
mother have made sure I
was feeling more
than welcome. Exceptionally
clean and cosy;
simple but delicious breakfast;
great view on
the outskirts of Bucharest;
not exactly close
to the centre but not far from
metro station;
for runners: beautiful park in the
neighbourhood.
Should I ever visit Bucharest
again, this is where I'd go!

Madeline from Australia 100% 7 Jul 2016Tis was the cosiest
hostel I have ever stayed in, the host was so friendly and
so helpful, although it is out of the city it is
conveiniantly close to public transport and right beside
the most beautiful lake! The breakfast he makes is the
best omlette I have ever tasted, I will definantly be
returning when I visit Romania again!

Constantin
was
very welcoming and a great host. He was very helpful and had
maps and everything printed and ready for us when we arrived.
He also suggested places for us to visit including a pizza
place just down the road (club 16??) which I would highly
recommend. Absolutely delicious. The hostel was a short and
easy metro ride into the main square (around 1 euro). The
breakfast of omelette and cheese was delicious and came with
fresh bread! The only prob we had was finding the hostel! use
map!

“Great place with a

Constantin is a

already checked out. The breakfast was really nice as well!
Great value, would definitely recommend.

Amin from Iran 89% 23 Jun
2016Constantin is a very nice guy. He is
friendly and takes care of all guests. Though the hostel is
far from the city center or down town, it is located in a
quite residential area near to a beautiful lake. I recommend
using Uber to go from hostel to the other places because it
is very cheap and safe. So if you take Uber, You won`t have
any problem with the location of the hostel. It was a bit
warm during the day in the hostel. This was the only problem
I faced during my stay at Tina Hostel.

kellrobinson from U.S.A. 89% 1 Jun 2016
The hostel is in an apartment block in a p!easant residential
area with a very good market nearby, with booths selling fresh
produce, and several stores. The owner is friendly and helpful.
I left at 5 in the morning to catch the train on my !ast day,
and he got up early to make breakfast for me.

15 Apr 2016Constantin and his mother are very welcoming and friendly
hosts. I would recommend this hostel to anyone who wishes for a
quiet, relaxing trip.

The
most caring host I`ve ever met. The apartment is extremely
clean, and Constantin gave us a lot of advices to experience
the city the best we could. He even waited for us to wake up
every morning to make us breakfast. The host is 3 subway stops
from the main square which makes it extremely easy to move
around. I couldn`t recommend Host Tina more

helpful. The Hostel is cozy and it provides an original
Bucharest experience.

I stayed with Constantin for two nights, and had the dorm to
myself, which was a lucky break. It was quite warm, but there
was a fan which made sleeping much easier. The hostel is in an
apartment, and it is outside of the center, but the directions
provided and the metro made it very easy to access. The price
was good and they provide a lovely warm breakfast, and are very
flexible with times for the breakfast. Constantin is also very
happy to give advice and directions, and to have a chat, but
also gives you your privacy when that is desired. A great place
to stay.

who also makes you feel very welcome. There is a beautiful park

He looks just like Mr. Bean! His mother is super sweet. The

boy, Romanians tend to be helpful, thankfully).

If you want a quiet place to stay with a lovely
Romanian family, I highly recommend you spend some time with
Constantin and his mother, Darina. I enjoyed my time at Hostel
Tina so much I ended up staying for three weeks. It’s a short
train ride to all the major attractions and there’s a wonderful
park just down the road where the locals love to hang out.

to stay at Tina hostel. Disliked: nothing

I felt pretty at home there. Constantin is a good manager and
interested in everything you say. He helps on every problem. I
now miss the omelette for breakfast with his special spicemix.
He loves discussing, and if you need privacy he backs down. If I
ever need a place to stay in Bucharest I would ask him for the
room.

Liked: Constantine was an
excellent host. He was welcoming and made every effort to
make us feel like we were home. Wi-Fi was available at this
property, breakfast & coffee was made every morning, and
the price of this stay was cheap! What more do you need when
you're traveling? I have no complaints.

This hostel is one of a kind. The host,
Constantin, is an amazing human and will bend over backwards for
anything you need. He's an excellent cook and runner. He even
managed to get me to go on a few runs with him! Thank you again

I know it's kind of late to write this review
since I last stayed here in June 2011. I was actually planning to
spend a few nights here this year while heading to my cousin's
wedding in Roman. From what I remembered, the host was hospitable
and everything was neat, clean and well-arranged. I had to say the
breakfast (fresh and handmade upon wake-up) was amazing and one of
the best I'd had for years. The location was a little hard to find
in a quiet small community, but it should not be a big problem
with a metro station nearby. Definitely recommend it!Christian
from Germany

Liked: I paid for private car
from airport which I think was well worth it as I arrived
after midnight. Andrei the driver was very helpful and spoke
very good English. With my approval , and at no extra cost,
he took me on a brief orientation drive around the city
pointing out places of interest. Constantine at the hostel
goes out of his way to make your stay a good one. Hes very
knowledgeable about the city and onward travel and the
breakfasts is excellent and there's always tea/coffee and
conversation available. The letters of thanks from previous
guest show that many arrive as guests but leave as friends.
This is more a home stay and definitely NOT a party hostel.
A bit out of the city but easy access to the metro. If you
are the type of traveler who likes to get to know a country
and its people,history and culture at a very good price this
is a great place to begin your visit to Bucherest /RomaniaDisliked: Nothing

A calm and clean place with a familiar atmosphere. Constantin is
very friendly and helpful. He provides you with all the
information you need to get around in Bucharest. Ask him for an
airport pick-up service, as the metro only runs until 11 pm. We
loved his breakfast and the discussions about running.

Liked: Constantin the owner
is extremely friendly and helpful, doing his best to make
sure you're well informed and comfortable at the hostel and
know everything about the local area. It may be a bit

very comfortable, and a total bargain for the price. A good
breakast was included in the price also (omlette, bread,
tomatoes, and coffee), making it even better value for
money. The hostel is within an apartment at the top of a
tower block, but is pretty close to shops and a metro
station that makes getting round the city easy. As its a
small hostel in a residential setting, I'd say it's most
suited to people who don't want to party too hard (and all
night). Overall: Highly recommended.

breakfasts and interesting talks. Surely we will contact you while

With warm regards,

Liked: Constantin made me
feel very welcome in his home and gave me lots of tips about
the city. Nice, clean and spacious room, and wonderful
breakfast. Safe area, close to the city on the metro.Disliked: Was a little
hard to find the hostel when I first arrive, just make sure
you print the directions beforehand.

The hostel is in an apartment block, which may be a bit confusing at
the first time, but the hostel is really cool.
Firstof all Konstantin, the owner of the hostel, is very friendly
and there for you, if you need something.
Furthermore tea, coffee and breakfast is included. The facilities
are very clean, the rooms cozy and tidy and the view really good -
an advantage of a flat in the 9th floor. ;) It was also great, that
we could cook at any time and Konstantin's special spices are very
tasty.
The metro in bucharest if quite good and cheap, so it is in fact not
far away from anything you are interested in. Give it a try, you
will love it!

We absolutely loved our week at Hostel Tina. Constantin was an
amazing host, going above and beyond. Ensuring we had maps of
the city, an understanding of the metro system and a list of
places to eat, and see that reflected local life was a wonderful
treat. Incredibly safe, clean, and comfortable. A large
breakfast, nightly tea, and evening conversations with
Constantin made our time in Bucharest even more enjoyable :)

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Constantin's
apartment. We get to travel quite a bit and rarely get to stay
somewhere so cozy and welcoming. It was clean, quiet and
situated very close to the city centre. We very much enjoyed
Constantin's company, especially his delicious breakfast. I
would highly recommend this place! Thanks Constantin! Ali and

Dear Constantin, Thank you so much
for your exceptional hospitality! From the moment we
walked in, you ensured we were fed, had tea and
ready to experience Bucharest , with maps and your
personal notes. With the two of us being new to long-term
trave, we could not have found a better hostel to start
our journey - you have set a high precedent for the future
hostels we stay in!
Please keep us updated on how your training, and the
marathon go. We wish you the best of luck :-)
Once again, thank you so much! Your generous heart and
love for people helped to make our visit in Bucharest more
than we expected.
Keep in touch and do let us know if you are in
Canada!

“Small and cozy
hostel, great host”
09 Jan 2014
94.30% Hostel Tina is a mixture of couch
surfing and a hostel. It's situated in an old communist building
which was renovated from the inside. The flat is very clean and
safe.The host Constantin is a very communicative and helpful guy
who really wants to make sure that you enjoy your stay :)Homemade
breakfast and some Romanian food was delicious.Location is about
10 min. to Metro and from there ~15 min. to the center. But the
Metro is very cheap. There's a nice Italian restaurant nearby,
lots of supermarkets etc. - all good!Unless you are a party rocker
and want to go clubbing every night, this is the perfect place to
stay!

Liked: A unique chance to see
the "real" Bucharest, as you're staying in the ninth floor
of an old communist block in a residential area. More of a
home-hospitality than a hostel. Konstantin is a great host
and makes excellent breakfast and coffee, and he is always
happy to provide useful information on local restaurants,
tourist sites, taxis or the metro. The nearby park is great
for runners.Disliked: A bit far from
the center, but it was just a few metro stops away and easy
to find - on the other hand it was great to be away from the
tourist areas so it's not much of a negative.

100% Hostel Tina run by a
woman and her son Constantine. It is immaculately clean, everything
works, the bathroom is spotless, the wc works, there is also loo
paper – what a boon – and 9 floors up so the view is great and a
kitchen, clean, with lots of utensils and dishes to borrow, and a
frig also for food. And the added wonder to this was that there was
one room as a 4-bed dorm complete with free 24 hour internet and a
private room. While I was there in the dorm room, a party of 4
italians came so Constantine put me in the private room and let the
italians have a room to themselves. So I got 3 nights at the same
rate of, I have quite forgotten, no, it was 50 lei or equivalent to
$A22pn for all the privacy. Did I enjoy that and did I use it you
ask?. You bet I really indulged self.Katharinafrom

100% The hostel
Tina is in numerous reservation site than hostel classified, but de
facto rather a private apartment. But we were still impressed. The
apartment is super tied up to the bucharest subway network and the
young operator is super friendly and helpful in every aspect. Also
the booked collection at the airport late at night has problem-free
folded. The breakfast was wonderful and right in the port we were
with information, maps and recommended day trips almost smothered.
However therefore we could our day in bucharest wonderful plan. So
if you know, what you bay, then this is the very recommendable

Constantin is indeed a great host! So welcoming,helpful and
flexible. We so highly recommend this hostel for a fully
authentic taste of true life in Bucharest. The 3km round park
with huge lake at the end of the road provided a perfect balance
of city life with nature,whilst providing a genuine view into
the lives of the locals who frequent the park as if their
garden. Off the tourist trail, we felt privileged to have this
'real' experience. Many thanks Constantin for opening your home
to us and making our stay in Bucharest so enjoyable :)

Constantin is really nice guy. He do
everything for you and he want that you feel like your home.
He's very intersting and wise.
Moreover he's welcoming, he's very good cooker also.
One of my better travel plan. Cheap/Save/Clean
Cheers Constantin

Constantin is extremely helpful, tells
you everything you need to know about Bucharest. Highly
recommend going to the Pizza restaurant he recommends, best
pizza i had in three months in Europe! He makes a great omelet
for breakfast and you can use his kitchen to make yourself any
other meals. A little out of the center of town, but so easy and
cheap to travel on the metro.

Liked: The host Constantin
was very friendly. He gave us coffee upon arrival and a nice
introduction to the city, the country and its inhabitants.
The breakfast he makes is really nice. You kind of stay in
the hosts own apartment on the 9th floor in a residential
housing complex, which is very nice, if you want to get an
impression of how an average romanian lives.

I stayed here for 2 nights and have to
say that it was an excellent place. It's in an apartment, so a
small hostel. Constantin who runs the hostel is very helpful and
an interesting person to chat to. He takes a genuine interest in
his guests and tries hard to make sure they get the most from
their visit to Bucharest. The entire place was very clean.

I was in the double room which was nicely decorated. Breakfast
was included in the very reasonable price for this hostel. You
also have use of the kitchen and the lounge.

It's a short walk to local shops and some restaurants. The
underground station is also only a 7 or 8 minute walk from the
hostel.

I would definitely stay here again the next time I am back in
Bucharest.

was provided to store valuables. We were very impressed and

far the best value for money I've ever had concerning
hostels. Owner is very nice, hospitable and cooks the most
awesome omelette imaginable for breakfast. I would recommend
the property for anyone enjoying peace and relaxed
environment with a very reasonable price. Not an optimal
choice for partying though, which didn't bother me. Rate
5/5. I travelled with my underage sister, an option not
really available on the drop down list.Disliked: Nothing.

Charles from UK Liked: Good
character of the place and a really good welcome to the
place by Constantin who owns the hostel. Authentic
experience staying in a old communist style appartment
block. Great breakfast in the morning. A nice omelete made
by the owner and some toast and tea or coffee.Disliked: Nothing. Some
people may worry that the area isn't safe because of all the
large tower blocks, but I can assure you this is a very safe
area and you.get to meet the local people in the area who
were very helpful and friendly on the few occasions when I
asked for help with directions.

from Gara du Nord (Constantin can help you with this so that
you don't get cheated). I had to handle big stairways and
poorly paved sidewalks with a 25 kilo bag, and ended up
getting a bit lost due to the absence of clear signs. It is
doable--especially when there are helpful people around--but

at 4.30am as we had an early flight, that was much

with a taxi because they will rip you off) and that was so
convenient and safe. Great value for money. Room was small
but nice and comfortable. This place is not the most ideal
option if you're wanting the party scene. Nice lake nearby
to go for a walk in the evening.Disliked: Location - was a
small walk (7-10 mintues) to the metro station and then a
few stops to town. This wasn't a big deal as we've done it a
number of times. The main thing for us was finding something
for dinner in the area. Ok if you're wanting a kebab,

during my/our stay in hostels for 2 weeks. Great omelette in
the morning. Constantin (host) supplies you with all
necessary and interesting information about Bucharest
(sights, recommended restaurants, how to avoid trouble in a
town like Bucharest). You feel very at home and secure at
this place. The Hostel is easy to find by using the
description (so I don't really understand the problem of
some reviewers before). Host ist very well informed about
onward traveling and always offers the possibility to chat.Disliked: absolutely
nothing to dislike for me and my girlfriend. But it should
be mentioned that it is not to be recommended for persons
who only come to Bucharest for partying. For all others it
is the perfect place to stay!

how much you are carrying. It was clean. the host was very
helpful. Great breakfast offer, the best during my entire
trip in europe. safe location. recommend to others if you
are ok with walking to metro. But do try to get clear
directions before heading there for the first time. Just
email hostel tina. The host answers email fast. Disliked: Just the
location isnt very central. once you know the way it's fine.

Liked: We felt like at home
(without having to do the dishes:)). The owner made sure
everything was at our disposal and helped us with directions
to get around the city. Free breakfast was great and kept us

Liked: We had the pleasure of
staying here 2 times - in the middle we went to visit
Brasov. Both times were great and we enjoyed our stay.
Constantin cooked breakfast at whatever time worked for our
schedule and wanted to make sure we knew where to go before
we left. He is also ready with maps for you when you arrive
and lights on the beds so you can read or see at night
without disturbing everyone. Do what the hostel requests and
print the directions as well as the map of the neighborhood.
We arrived very late at night and were able to find it
walking in the dark so with these tools it should be no
problem. This is not a party hostel which is exactly what we
wanted and why we liked it. Disliked: Nothing. We have
stayed in many hostels this year and have seen many
different things offered. Maybe hooks on the ends of the
beds or a little pocket/holder dangling on the side of
the bed to put your eyeglasses/wallet/watch in at night
might be helpful. Even still the hostel is wonderful without
those things. =)

Constantine was always offering his help or assitance

you get from him! There is a Hollywood Movie theater nearby
in the mall which wasvery good for us. In a real Romanian
apartment building complex. Free computer to use in room
with headset,could also print for free. Kitchen to use.
Quiet area.Disliked: Nothing. Might
consider getting a microwave to making cooking times quicker
and thicker shades to block the sunlight in the morning -
but just put your head facing away from the window to help
avoid this - or bring an eye mask.

was awesome). I felt like I was staying at my grandmothers
house as it was so cosy. The inside of the hostel it is
amazing, looks brand new, very clean and modern facilities.

treated you so well, but still gave you a lot of space. The
beds were exceptional - the mattresses had springs, not a
limp piece of foam. Everything was spotlessly clean.
Constantine cooks you an omlette in the morning, to get your
going - ham, mushroom and onion. Scrumptious! The dorm has
great views over the city as well. It's close to Dristor
Metro Station, so you have access to the entire city by
Metro. Great place. Highly recommended.Disliked: NOTHING!!!

Liked: The host is easily the
reason this property is so good. He was friendly, makes
great omelettes and i lost track of how many cups of tea he
made me. The neighbourhood is an old communist era housing
complex, but inside his apartment he has done everything up
nicely with a nice bathroom and rooms. Only reason to not
come here, is if you want a party every night, although the
metro is close by to go out for dinner and drinks. Disliked: Very little. I
was skeptical and outside impressions could be bad, but
inside its perfect. They have also recently put new parks
and playgrounds in between the buildings, so the visual
appeal of the location is improving, which will make this
place very popular ;-)

Lesley from England

What did you like best about the property?
The owner was really nice and friendly. We arrived quite
late in the evening and he was still more than happy to help
us. He provided maps and gave us a key to a locker for safe
storage of passports etc. The owener also cooked breakfast
in the morning when we were ready for it (which was amazing)
and made tea/coffee for us. He also gave us lots of nice
ice-cold water for our journey when we were leaving (very,
very kind!!) :D

What did you dislike about the property?
The hostel and the owner are lovely but it is quite a
small business. There is only room for about 5/6 people to
stay so its not the ideal place to stay if youre looking to
meet other travellers.

– Alone/as a solo traveler

Liked: Constantin and his mother helped
me and gave good advice about sightseeing in Bucharest.
Also they provide a very nourishing breakfast of omlette
and good coffee. There is a PC and multi - channel large
screen TV in the dorm room. But this is really a cool
living room with leather sofa. I was lucky and was alone
on my visit, There is a decent food market and 2 good
cheap resturants close by.

Disliked: Like 95% of Bucharest ,it is
best to be back indoors by 10pm. Many places close by
then, It pays to draw a small map as a reminder as the
tall tower blocks can all look the same on the dark. There
are many stray dogs around and they bark loudly at night
though they do not seem to be dangerous. Just keep a
distance! These are just observations on Bucharest and not
the Hostel Tina.

here again in an instant if I ever returned. Is hostel description honest: Yes

Very friendly, nice, quiet place.I stayed here for three days with

Excellent facilities with a very welcoming staff to boot.
I've stayed in Bucharest many times and this is by far the
best option if you're bored with soulless hotels and
looking for somewhere with a homely atmosphere. The
breakfast is a real boon as are the facilities on offer.
Constantin and his mum pay a real attention to detail and
it's obvious they've had a considerable experience in
hosting tourists. If you want a launch pad to explore the
city with a base where you can share your experiences, and
to be able to ask for advice Hostel Tina is definitely the
place to stay.

The owner, Constantine and his mom Dorina without doubt.
Received a call from Constantin when he knew i was taking
a cab and did not arrive within the expected time frame.
He was waiting for me in the rain when i arrived. Really
did not expect this. Place was clean and quiet, had a
computer with internet access in my room and breakfast was
sumptous too !

The Hostel Tina in Bucharest was a very nice location for
some holidays. It is near to the centre and there is a
good transport connection. Konstantin is a friendly guy
and a great host. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
Free tea and free prezel! We were happy! Sigmar

The hosts are some of the friendliest people we've
encountered - they made our stay super enjoyable. The
rooms were very clean and the bathroom was always fresh.
The location is not so bad - but it is a subway ride from
most places of interest. However, a subway station is just
a 10 minute walk from the hostel, which we found to be
rather okay. This isn't a party hostel, but more of a
relaxed, super clean, small hostel. In a way, more like a
guest house than a hostel. The hosts are also very eager
to please, offering tea whenever you come home and
willingly sharing some Romanian specialties with you. If
we ever go back to Bucharest, we will definitely stay at
Hostel Tina again.

Home from home atmosphere. You get lots of helpful advice
and guidance from the jovial landlord Contsantin who
always offers tea or cofee as you enter -without fail! It
is close to trams and the metro and a great open air
market! PC in your room too!

Constantin is a generous host who made us feel welcome in
his home. We always had great conversations with him and
he was helpful in offering advice on Bucharest. He greeted
us with tea and a snack upon our arrival! The place is a
quick walk to the metro which will get you anywhere you
need to go in town & there are plenty of ameneties
within walking distance from the hostel - it is great to
spend time in a neighbourhood in Bucharest you may not
otherwise visit. I'd highly recommend this place to stay
for anyone who wants to feel at home while on the road and
who wants to learn more about Romania and the culture of
this beautiful country as Constantin is a great source!

Franziska from Germany

Staying at Constantin's Hostel Tina is more like a home
stay really - at a friend's place with all you could hope
to find there: a warm smile, interesting talks, a good cup
of tea or coffee, helpful advice on the city and country -
oh, and for those who are on the rock side of life:
Constantin's collection has great stuff on offer! The
small and comfortable hostel is newly renovated and most
probably the cleanest I've ever stayed in (and I've
travelled a lot :-)). As to what the location is
concerned, when getting there I thought it would have been
more convenient to have stayed in the city center, but
actually the metro takes you downtown quickly and I would
not have wanted to have missed the insight into how
Bucharestians live. The lakes and park nearby are a great
place for a quiet walk or rest after a day in the buzzling
city center. I will definitely come back!

The Hostel is simply the best place i ever stayed so far.
Is like been at home. Super clean, very safe, and a great
place to meet people. Constantin, the owner, is one of the
kindest persons i met in all my travelings. He will make
you all the cofee or tea you may want, and even more, and
explain to you perfectly all the things you need to know
for moving around bucharest. If you are thinking about
staying in bucharest, believe me, this is your place. Just
pay attention to the indications when you have to find the
place! is very well explained there, but you have to pay
attention. I had a great time in this place and i strongly
recommend it.

The
apartments is very cozy and the private room is spacious
and very comfortable . Internet connection is available in
every room. I found this place very nice and specially
constantin. He is very friendly and helpful. If you want
to stay in bucharest this is the right place. 2006-11-24 21:36:18, Hamza Khan, Finland,

Constantine and his Mum are fantastic hosts. Nice to stay
somewhere a little smaller and more intimate than the
usual Hostel. Don't be put off by the look on the
exterior, the rooms are spacious, internet and a big tv in
the room as well. Great coffee too!

This hostel is based in a tower block that is common to
much of the old eastern block. This should not deter you
though as the beauty of this hostel is Constantin who runs
the hostel. He is the perfect host being both friendly and
helpful. He is there to accomodate you 24*7, and even got
up for a chat until 4am one night, and got up at 8am to
make sure we were up to catch our plane home. The hostel
is very clean and has good features, and it is well worth
a stay if you are visiting Bucharest.

The gracious and humble attitude of the host/hostess at
the facility makes most Western Europeans feel very
fortunate and glad they chose this option. Free internet
facility which is very desirable but you will find most of
Bucharest has free hotspots anyway. Very generous,
helpful, considerate and obliging...Constanin, keep up the
good work!

The hostel was very clean and confortable, indeed it was
like being home. Constantin ois very helpful and he is
always tehre to aid you in what you need. If you arrive
late, however, I suggest that you ask for a taxi at the
airport if you dont know if your flight is going to get
delayed. There is a lot of offer at the airport. My plane
got delayed for 1 hour and my luggage took about 40
minutes to get out, and when I got out, Constantin was not
there. He had agreed to pick me up for 70 Ron, but whe I
called him and he got there, he doubled the price, saying
that he had waited for me a long time. If you ask
Constantin to pick you up at the airport, make sure that
you do agree on a price and he wont change it.

Constantine is a lovely guy and very concerned that you
enjoy your time there. It is 'just' an apartment in an
anonymous nest of highrise but you are made to feel very
welcome and the kettle is ALWAYS on. Beds are good and the
lift has character. Hey, it's a budget hostel so you get
what you pay for but it is clean, very friendly, and a
good fit for Bucharest.
